Chapter 4 Detour
Han Yu and the others turned around when they heard the sound, and saw that it was the second lady in the prince's mansion, the county lord Zhao Rulan, and several young women of the same age, standing not far away.
Han Xiao smiled lightly, saluted slightly, and said, "I've seen the county lord." After saluting, he stood up and said, "The county lord of Lao is worried, and it is very good." β
Zhao Rulan raised her eyebrows in surprise, and what she originally wanted to say was blocked back all of a sudden, raising her slightly slender chin: "Look at your complexion, it's good, I think it's already good." After that, he said no more, turned around and left.
Han Xiao, who had just been interrupted, opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but closed it again and didn't say anything more.
Zhao Rulan never knew what politeness was, in her previous life, when she was young, she was quite unhappy in her heart, although she didn't show it on her face, she would always occasionally top her in her words, and when the two met, they would always say a few words to each other.
can be reincarnated as a human being, and she knows that she has been married three times in a row, and as a result, three fiancΓ©s have passed away unexpectedly. Although he has the respect of the county lord and his father is the only sibling brother of the emperor of the dynasty, the name of "Kefu" wasted the years of this great man, and he waited until twenty and one before he reluctantly married out of Lu. Seeing her again this time, Han Xiao couldn't even have half of her desire and ambition in her heart.
"Look at her like that, her chin will be raised to the sky." Suddenly, another voice came from the side, and when he turned his head and saw the person, Han Yun's heart was full of surprise and excitement, and the person was stunned for a moment.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? The woman was born with round eyes and crooked eyebrows, although not very beautiful, but round and lovely when she looked at her, and looked down at herself in surprise, and then turned to the maid who followed her and asked, "Is there anything wrong with me?" β
The maid couldn't help but smile and said, "Miss, if you don't say hello, you will scare Miss Han Er." β
"You haven't recovered yet?" Only then did the woman turn back and take Han Xiao's hand with a concerned expression.
endured the ups and downs in his heart, and with a lot of emotion and excitement in his heart, Han Yu held her hand with his backhand: "What I said is that even if you are not sick, you can be scared out of illness!" β
The woman smiled again: "Isn't it you who is scared?" Who told you that you were sick the other day, and I have nowhere to find someone to play with! β
Han Xiao smiled again: "Sitting and talking over there, standing here is like a god." As he spoke, he took the woman's hand, and listened to her chatter about the new things of the past few days, and his brain involuntarily came out again.
The Li family and the Han family are world friends, and their father Li Zicheng and his father are officials in the same dynasty, and they are in the same department, and they have a very good personal relationship. In the previous life, I remember that she married the official eunuch family of another province, since the two went out separately, except for the occasional correspondence, until she passed away, she never saw it again, and when she suddenly saw it, she felt a lot of emotion in her heart.
In the flower hall, the female guests came to pay their respects to the eldest princess, and then sat down and talked.
The eldest princess is about to know the destiny of heaven, but she does not show her old age at all. Its status is noble, and this flower will also bloom every year, and it does not have to be seated for a long time to accompany everyone. I met with everyone, let the two daughters-in-law entertain guests, and I pulled a few close friends to talk in the small hall inside.
Jiang and a few good ladies entered the small hall inside, and sat with the eldest princess and talked. At the mention of the children of each family, the eldest princess turned her head to Jiang and smiled: "Speaking of which, the two girls in your family have reached the age of Jilu, and they are about to go out in the next two years, right?" β
Jiang sighed with a smile: "When I was a child, I just hoped that they would grow up quickly to be worry-free. Now I see that I am almost old, but I can't bear it! Especially if there are two of them! β
"Isn't it?" The eldest princess also sighed, "I don't have daughters, only two sons, I used to only envy you who have daughters in the family, but now it seems that I am blessed!" β
When everyone heard this, they all laughed and said, "Who can enter the princess's house and be a daughter-in-law, is happy." β
After laughing for a while, the eldest princess asked Jiang again: "I heard that Lord Bai will return to Beijing at the end of this year to report on his work, and Mrs. Bai will be there in a few days, right?" β
Jiang also smiled: "Isn't it? I only got the news a few days ago, and the ships have arrived in Suzhou, but they will take a carriage into Beijing in the next few days. β
"But his second son accompanied his mother to Beijing?" The eldest princess squinted her eyes and smiled at the Jiang family.
Jiang nodded with a smile: "That kid has seen it once when he was two or three years old, and I don't know how it is now, just look at the appearance of Lord Bai and Mrs. Bai." β
"That's for sure!" The eldest princess said, her voice lowered a little, "Don't talk about it, only his family respects his wife, and he doesn't allow his children to take concubines, which is very good, and Sister Yu won't be able to stand those grievances in the past!" β
Jiang said this in his heart, when he decided on the Bai family, first, he and Bai Gan's have been handkerchiefs since childhood, and they are familiar with her character, and their daughters will never be wronged if they marry in the past. The second one, which is also the Bai family's excellent family style, has been for several generations, except for one or two who can't have children because of their wives, they take concubines and come back to have children, but they also go to their mothers to keep children.
The eldest princess sighed again: "I have always seen Sister Zhen as a very good person, and I still want to eat your matchmaker's wine, but unfortunately, it is too late." β
As soon as these words came out, all the ladies showed envy in their eyes, and asked the eldest princess which one he was talking about, but the eldest princess only smiled and said nothing. Several ladies had no choice but to come back and quipped: "The Bai family has been away from Beijing for all these years, and it's not that no one is staring at their family, there are only more people staring at your family!" Isn't this the eldest princess? Who knows, his family has already decided on your family! β
Jiang Shi smiled: "The eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, and this matter is uncertain now." β
Although he hasn't made up his mind about the bright road yet, everyone sitting here knows that this time the wife of the Bai family returns to Beijing, first, she will come back early to clean up the house - this time Lord Bai returns to Beijing, there is a chance that he will stay in Beijing. Second, he came back to discuss marriage with the Han family. Third, it is also the most important - the next year is the year of Dabi, and Bai Anheng, the second son of the Bai family, has passed the county exam and is about to return to Beijing to prepare for the exam.
Mrs. Shui Shangshu smiled and forked: "It's a pity that the eldest girl of his family can't come today." β
"I heard it's only been three months?"
"But it's not, that's a great blessing, this is the third child......
As he was talking, someone outside suddenly came to report: "The eldest princess has arrived." β
The eldest princess raised her eyebrows and muttered, "Why did she come over?" Then he raised his hand, "Please." β
ββββββββ
"What's wrong with your third sister? Why are you more silent than before? Sitting on the stool in the corner of the water pavilion, Li Yun suddenly asked Han Yun in a low voice.
Han Xiao was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Han Xiao, who was looking at the ducks on the lake outside the water pavilion. In the past few days, because I came back suddenly, I couldn't come back to my senses for a while, and I didn't pay much attention to the people around me. And because although her three sisters grew up together, they are not close to Han Quan in the end, and she is not close to Han Quan, plus she has a dull temperament, although she is the same age, there is not much to say between the two.
Think about it...... I'm afraid that some of them are more reticent? But in the previous life, it was inconvenient for him to go out and walk around after he got married, and Han Qian was only married to a small official in Beijing, and the two families had no contact except for the New Year's Festival, so they were a little more rusty than others.
I had to laugh and say: "Maybe it's a little more settled after the shock." β
Li Yun nodded suddenly and said with a smile: "What can I say!" Even you have become a lot more honest, so it can be seen that the water is not all bad! β
Hearing what she said, Han Yu couldn't help pinching her cheeks: "You dead girl!" See that I don't throw you down, and let you soak in water, maybe this mouth can be more honest! β
The two young ladies were laughing and joking here, and Xia He watched from the side and breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Yun's maid Lu Zhu'er wondered: "Why do you look like this?" I looked at you like I had something on my mind. β
Xia He turned his head to look at the dew drops, and said in a low voice: "You don't know, after the water came out that day, people don't like to laugh anymore, and we worry about it every day, for fear that she has something in her heart." I have to say that your young lady has the ability, and with just two sentences, she can make people change back. β
"Well, thank me so much!"
Xia Heqi said: "I thank your young lady, what did you do?" β
Lu Zhu'er tilted her chin, shook her head and said, "If I didn't serve my young lady so well, how could she persuade your young lady well?" β
"What a faceless girl!"
After laughing for a while, Mrs. Li came and asked Li Yun to come over to talk, and before she came back, someone from the princess's mansion came over and said: "The princess has put the meal in the Linglong Pavilion, and the banquet will be held at noon." All the women got up one after another, and a few of them laughed together and went to Linglong Pavilion.
After silently calculating in his heart, Han Xiao said to Xia He with a smile: "It's not that the banquet is going to start immediately, there are so many people, they don't squeeze all the way with them." β
Xia He saw that there was no displeasure on her face, so she nodded, this eldest princess's mansion Han family often comes, even if she goes alone, she is not afraid of getting lost.
After waiting a little, it was estimated that it was time to avoid meeting Song Yuci last time, so Han Yu took Xia He's hand and walked out.
"What about Qian'er and Xiao'er?"
"The fourth lady and the second miss of the Wang Yushi family went together, and the third miss took Qiuyue first."
Han Xiao is the same year as himself, and this princess's mansion is also frequent, and he has always been a safe character, Han Xiao didn't think much about it when he heard it, and took Xia He to a fork, thought about it for a while, and chose a path different from the previous life.
The back garden of the princess's mansion is almost a step by step, the horse and the eldest princess have always been affectionate, and so elegant, when they meet a good mountain stone outside, see a good scenery, they will come back to repair it in their own home, make a princess's mansion beautiful, not to mention, every once in a while again, maybe it will change the scenery again.
As now, there are a few small roads that are close to each other on the left and right, but they are separated by mountains, rocks, flowers and trees, so that people can't see them at all.
After walking for a while, I suddenly heard a very familiar voice coming from the opposite side of the mountain rock: "-Pingshan has seen Miss Han San." β
The raised footsteps paused in mid-air, Han Yu slowly turned his head and looked at the other road separated by mountains, rocks, flowers and trees-Song Yuci, the word is peaceful.
In the gap between the flowers and plants, I saw that familiar face again. The second time I saw him today, the ups and downs of resentment in my heart before were suddenly gone, and I just stood here quietly, as if I was looking at someone who had nothing to do with me at all.
Xia He's face was a little ugly, she looked at the side of the rockery with a little anxiety, and then looked at the second lady she was supporting, and then looked left and right, for fear of meeting someone again - the young lady who was waiting for her every day, and there were some things that others didn't know, but she could see a point or two.
Since Miss and several boudoir friends invited her to see the three-yuan horse parade two years ago, whenever someone mentions Song Tanhua, Miss's eyes are terrifying! If someone in the family mentions the matter of the Bai family slightly, the young lady is like being beaten by frost, and she is bored for half a day.
She saw it, but she couldn't say it. After all, it's a lady in the boudoir, if the third person really knows the way, but if there is something to do, then no one will live! I'm afraid that after telling Madame, Madame will be angry and lock up Miss again, wouldn't she have to take half her life?!
Therefore, I can only secretly hope that the Bai family can return to Beijing soon, and if I really marry into the Bai family, this matter will pass - it is just a temporary love for children and envy of the demeanor of a young man. But now...... It's still the third lady who talks to him over there!
